#wanna eat his characters like french fries

[brofanatic]

Why is Jon bernthal so pretty. Every single character he plays seems to have a streak of goofy boyish charm in there, skewed but strong morals, a violent streak, and at least one scene of him mean-mugging the camera for an extended period of time.

[lonelypep]

every smash bros character ranked by how good of a cook i think they’d be.

82: piranha plant

eating this dish will kill you instantly. turns out he spit some poison in there while no one was looking. and yeah, that sucks, but if you even accepted a meal from this guy i think you have bigger problems

81: ridley.

let’s be real, if you let this guy into the kitchen, you made a huge mistake. it’s like john mulaney’s horse in a hospital sketch: you never know what he’s gonna do next. you’re too focused on getting him out.

80: king k rool.

king k rool is many things. a king, a pirate, a scientist. but he is not a cook. he’ll try, but he has literally no clue what he’s even doing in the kitchen.

79: yoshi

yoshi will give you a dish and you’ll be like “what the fuck is this” and he’ll talk about how it was made from the finest newborns of his home planet. i’m deciding to ignore it but it’s really nagging at me.

78: sonic

sonic shouldn’t be on this list. because he wouldn’t make you any food. he’ll go to the local sonic and get a burger in about 3 minutes. it sucks. disqualified.

77: pac man

what can i say. it tastes like literal plastic. i don’t even wanna know how he made it. i’ll give it back to him but the nice thing about pac man is he wouldn’t give a shit.

76: bowser jr.

fuck this guy. he rage quit at making a grilled cheese. now there’s a literal canonball in the stove. now no one else can use it!! this is what happens when you spoil kids.

75: pikachu/pichu

these two are in the same category since they’d make the same thing. they’d get store bought french fries and fry them with lighting outside. it’s consistent, it works, just not really filling. and they don’t know how to make anything else.

74. wario

don’t get me wrong: he knows what he’s doing. he’s the burger king of smash. he’s this low because the burger is the most unhealthy shit you’ll ever have. eating it gave you chronic diarrhea, gastrointestinal issues, and permanently damaged your taste buds. but god fucking damn was it a good burger.

73. hero

he gave you a single piece of bread with butter on it. it’s not bad but…really dude?

72: olimar

he didn’t make you a bad meal, in fact it was one of the best here. but that’s because he didn’t make you something. it was the pikmin and he’s trying to pass it off as his own and the pikmin don’t know because they don’t speak english. 0/10: not fucking cool dude.

71: kazuya

honestly? i don’t trust this guy. i was too intimidated to even ask his name. from what i can gather no one even invited him to the party he just showed up and made a mediocre meal. what’s weird: someone came into the kitchen and claimed this guy killed their whole family. we never saw that guy again. needless to say, kazuya wasn’t invited to the afterparty.

70: link (botw)

don’t get me wrong here, link is a five star chef. he’s just really unsanitary. apparently he cut the meat and vegetables with the same sword he killed calamity ganon with. i don’t wanna taste that guy!! have you seen him?? not to mention he pulled the meal out of his pants. i don’t even know how it fit in there.

69: inkling

she made a pancake and i thought it was good! but i absolutely can’t condone this. inkling left so much fucking weird slime and shit all over my house. and got really competitive when she heard i was getting meals from everyone else. i hope they’re all ok.

68: ROB

it was so processed. the most processed food i’ve ever had in my entire life. it’s not his fault, rob is a great guy. but this tasted like literally nothing.

67: ice climbers

when they told me they were making dessert, i trusted them. but i let someone else taste test first. my best friend was sent to the hospital because of tongue frostbite. didn’t even know that was a thing. i made the ice climbers pay for it (they’re fucking loaded)

66: villager

he made isabelle do it. and she made something great! but i’m not giving this cretin credit for having the money to afford a five star chef. you don’t deserve it because you sold a shit ton of tarantulas villager!!

65: lucario.

dude got really mad and destroyed my kitchen. he’s REALLY lucky he got the burger PERFECTLY cooked.

64: male byleth.

like this dude knows how to cook. he can barely make chicken nuggets. he has to eat in the school cafeteria simply because he never learned how to cook a simple meal. but he’s a really nice guy. total himbo. love him.

63: ryu

i asked this guy what he likes to eat. big mistake. he then went on to say that his training regiment doesn’t condone copious indulgence (his words) and he lives off of nothing but protein shakes. you do you i guess.

62-61: fox/falco

these two went into the kitchen and came out with weird alien food. i didn’t eat it but everyone else seemed to enjoy it

60: greninja

when he first came out i was so excited. he came out with the most finely sliced food i had ever seen in my entire life. but it was soooo watered down. everything tasted like celery. how do you make crab taste like celery?? how??!

59-58: simon/richter

these guys both made the same exact fish recipe, came out at the same time, and proceeded to fight each other. i didn’t get to try any 😭

57-49: every fire emblem character.

genuinely, i can’t tell these guys apart. or their food choices. honestly, my bad. i’m sure they’re good. but where do i even start.

48: sheik

she doesn’t know how to cook. she kidnapped someone else. normally i wouldn’t put someone like that this high but a. i have gender envy b. it’s for the greater good (or so she said)

47: cloud

dude made a great sandwich but he kept screaming random noises while he did. personally, i’m just glad he managed not to destroy the kitchen. that’s a first here.

46: captain falcon

he promised he’d pick up some pizza but got into a car crash on the way there. eventually he got there after the car crash was all sorted out, but got into ANOTHER on the way back. i’m honestly kind of impressed

45: steve

steve could cook an absolutely fucking KILLER meal. he’ll even offer to do it for free. but you shouldn’t let him under any circumstances. he took 13 hours gathering materials and while the wait was, arguably, worth it, i never want to experience it again. (side note: we asked captain falcon to get some pizza while waiting which led to the aforementioned entry)

44: sora

sora doesn’t know how to cook but he’s by far the biggest name at this party. everyone fucking loves him. he’s friends with GOOFY. this dude hangs out with GOOFY. this guys has hung out with GOOFY AND jack sparrow. bad food but i could listen to this guy talk for hours about his story. i’m sure i’ll understand it all.

43-40: pokémon trainer

this guys organization is fucking atrocious. if he can actually get his shit together he’ll cook up some nice vegetarian meals, but that’s a big if.

HONORABLE MENTION: sans mii gunner

sans undertale is a world renowned, famous chef. his recipes are simple, but cooked with such love, care, and finess it turns a simple cheeseburger into a masterpiece. sans undertale would easily top this list. sans mii gunner is not sans undertale. he bought the real sans’ cookbook and thinks he’s some kind of cooking genius. and sure he’s got the recipes but none of the skill to actually make it.

39-38: samus/zero suit samus

hooray! we’re out of bad cook options now. samus is a great cook, but she’s so used to her alien delicacies she doesn’t know how to cook on earth anymore. shame, but i trust her to produce something edible.

37: shulk

he is really good at the grill. unfortunately, he refused to put a shirt on and made everyone a little uncomfy. that being said, he showed me the beach boys and i had never listened to them before. so he gets points.

36-35: pit/dark pit

these guys don’t know how to cook but the flew into the sky and killed some mythical bird for everyone to eat. i couldn’t have any, i’m pescatarian, but everyone else loved it.

34: bayonnetta

she opened a portal to a waffle house and a bunch of demons came flying out. she didn’t make anything, but honestly, absolutely legendary experience that was.

33: duck hunt

you’d think a dog wouldn’t bring anything meaningful. this would be false. that is the freshest duck i’ve ever seen in my entire life. (didn’t eat it: pescatarian)

32: king dedede

he made his legendary homemade mashed potatoes. everyone loved them. so creamy… weirdly perfect. too bad i hate the monarchy. sorry bud.

31: meta knight

meta knight is a great cook and should be higher. but i don’t want him to be. because he’s so fucking pretentious. he sliced all the food in front of everyone and wouldn’t shut up about radiohead. hate this guy.

30-29: daisy/peach

these two put all their private chefs together to make something for everyone. great catering, great food, but they didn’t technically make it. love them.

28: mewtwo

as if mewtwo wouldn’t just read someone’s mind and cook something. but it’s not mewtwo’s food…so…. sorry dude you cheated.

27: dark samus

she really surprised me here. she cooked up the most exquisite alien delicacies i’ve ever tasted in my entire life. should be higher. but unfortunately, i had to get a space parasite removed from my system by regular samus. honestly though… it was worth it.

26: ganon

he was rude to everyone about his cooking skills and wouldn’t stop bragging. asshole am i right? but surprised everyone by grilling his god damn heart out. he’s a bad try hard but like go off i guess.

25: isabelle

she’s trying her absolute fucking best and she deserves the world here. amazing cook, we need to save her from the island.

24: little mac

dude went so hard. brought new york pizza ALL THE WAY FROM NEW YORK. ok, not literally, but he made a damn good pizza

23: snake

full disclosure: snake doesn’t know how to cook. also no one knows he’s an agent. but he has to cook to blend in so you BEST BELIEVE this man is going to COOK like his life depends on it.

22-20: young link, ness, and lucas

all these guys are incredibly mature for their age. surprised everyone at this party. i had deep and philosophical conversations with all of them about appreciating life. i fucking cried. oh and they made everyone sandwiches, and even took my pescatarianism into account.

19: rosalina

she brought weird space ice cream and i felt my mind expanding as i ate it. love her.

18: mr game and watch

he feels like everyone’s dad! and he’s one of those cooks who cooks in front of everyone. dude flung his meals onto everyone’s plates expertly. love him.

17: joker

originally much lower on this list, joker showed up at my house and attempted to make a grilled cheese and made the worst thing i’ve ever taste. then he said something about gru from despicable me and stood in the corner for an hour. originally i had him towards the bottom but then he doordashed five gigantic burgers, ate all of them in one sitting, and then made me an expensive curry that tasted fantastic. dude went hard.

it was at this point i realized i made a mistake with the numbers. like hell if i’m going to fix the whole thing.

22: zelda

she made some weird food but damn was it pretty to look at! crystals, magic power, i mean good vibes all around here.

21-20: pyra and mythra

i feel like i should put them here since they’re confirmed to be good cooks in the game. but between you and me, i didn’t invite them. i’d consider some entries before this to be better cooks but at this point i’ve been working on this list for 8 hours i do not wanna go back and fix things please i mean this whole list is a joke no one should take this seriously

19: banjo and kazooie

these guys can fucking cook. they’ve been living on their own for a while so it makes sense but it still surprises me. they made a really big stew and even brought free puzzle games.

18: wolf

GRILL MASTER. dude knows what he’s doing on that thing. i’ve never seen better spatula work. holy shit.

17: kirby

kirby came in with some weird blonde hair and made some FANTASTIC ribs (that i didn’t have bc i’m pescatarian). weirdly, gordon ramsey went missing the same day…. i’m sure it means nothing.

16: mario

dude made some absolutely spectacular spaghetti. but he kept talking about how great he is and it really off put some people. kinda weird dude.

15: dr mario. dude brought 50 apples to the potluck. guess he doesn’t wanna see anyone in the office. and he didn’t because we ate them all. take that.

14: min min

she brought some soup dumplings which a lot of people hadn’t had! love her. literally fantastic. she had a whole arm for cooking. that’s what we call efficient.

13: ken

he’s kenough. he is amazing at barbecue. he can cook things with his hands, juggle, also he’s just a fun presence. (i made him make fake meat burgers for me)

12: jigglypuff

she showed up with so many pastries. like so many. not only that, but they were decorative!! she put so much work into that. love her.

11: luigi

he tried to make spaghetti like his brother but a literal fucking meteor slammed into his pot and cracked it. tough luck. then he offered to pay and i refused, but went out and got me some really expensive spaghetti anyways! he’s such a nice guy!! shouldn’t be this high… but i love this guy so much. he’s trying his hardest and i respect that.

10: toon link

toon link didn’t actually make anything. but his mom came and made everyone a salad. and honestly! his mom is some great company. she had so many interesting stories about his childhood. honestly she added so much to the function

9: terry

he is the BARBECUE MASTER!!!! literally what the hell how is he so good! everyone at the party kinda stereotyped him but he’s really really progressive with his views which you wouldn’t think for a big barbecue muscle guy in a baseball cap but everyone loved this guy.

8: mega man

the MASTER CHEF!! literally. he was on master chef. he uses thin round blades to slice vegetables, heats things perfectly, has an instance knowledge of spices, just damn. this guy knows what he’s doing.

7-6: bowser and donkey kong

common misconception: everyone thinks these two would have no idea how to cook. but these are FAMILY GUYS HERE!! they’re providing for absolutely gigantic families, these fuckers know how to make a sandwich and they did. initially they started off making separate sandwiches but they have a really similar recipe and decided to work together. and i really respect that. also turns out peach is just bowser’s kids’ babysitter.

5: palutena.

everyone expected her to show up with some absolutely mystical food. naturally, she showed up with the literal ambrosia of the gods. holy shit. unfortunately, she didn’t put as much effort into it as she could’ve.

4: sephiroth.

ok this guy didn’t really cook anything amazing. but his sheer fucking commitment to the vibe is literally legendary. this man has a long as sword he cut 10 veggies at a time with. he heat them with magic world ending fire. when he was done in the kitchen he surrounded himself with fire and gazed menacingly at me. his sheer commitment to the edge lord aesthetic is truly exemplary.

3: incineroar.

THE GRILLING GOAT!! this man is a grill master. he was prepared to grill ANYTHING. and i mean anything. fish, veggies, meat, fucking grilled cheese. love this guy.

2: wii fit trainer

she made the most well balanced and healthy salad i’ve ever had. and she made it taste extraordinary. she can be a little intense about fitness but i’ve never had a healthier meal in my life. it immediately lowered my extremely high cholesterol.

1. diddy kong

he’s about ten. he made you a pb&j. he had homework to do, but he made you a pb&j. he didn’t have to. he wasn’t asked to. he just wanted to make you a pb&j. he could’ve done anything else but he made you a pb&j. what heartless monster wouldn’t accept it.

[finsterwalds]

Got a very inspired ask inquiring about the villains in my Better Call Saul french AU so here's Gus aka famous chef Gustavo Faure and his main waiter Léo haha. More info under the cut as always...

So at first I thought about making Gus a fast-food owner like his canon counterpart, but it just doesn't fit really well if you wanna frenchify it all with nuance. We have fast-foods ofc and we do enjoy fried chicken lol, but Los Pollos Hermanos has this very distinct "patriotic" feeling that wouldn't translate as well in France, as fast-foods are american in conception. I thought about making Gus the owner of some cheaper chain like Courtepaille lmao, but it feels too memey and doesn't have the prestige that his character has canonically. Gus assimilates perfectly into american society with his brand, and caters to the people locally, so I thought it would be fair for him to do the same in France. And if you wanna cater to lovers of chic, gastronomy and prestige, what's better than being the chef of some fancy restaurant, right? It felt cliché af and looses the "close to the people" part but it honestly fits his character well, imo...

He would be extremely respected locally but still friendly and approachable due to him crafting some kind of tragic backstory for himself and his restaurant. Basically he would play the "Chilean refugee that climbed to the top of foreign cuisine" card and everyone would buy it. French people love to eat and are fond of mixing their culture's meals with more international food, so yes: I think he would serve a fusion of french/Chilean food!

He'd also be an entrepreneur as famous french chefs often have side businesses like bakeries or published books, which I think respects his canon personality pretty well. Fancy french chefs also like to hang out outside their kitchen to greet their guests and I can totally imagine Gus do that. He'd still be able to conceal his shady side nicely. He's canonically seen to like fine wine, good products, and cooks Paila Marina for Walt, so congrats to Gus for already being french in conception and not making this idea feel like a stretch lol.

I have no idea about his exact role concerning drug traffic in Europe, as I said I'm pretty ignorant about that… But he'd use his business and image to form connections and launder his money. His backstory with Max stays the same in the AU aka Max was his business """"partner""" who died killed by the Salamancas.

I don't think changing his first name was necessary, but his last name sounding american I thought I would just frenchify it a bit lol. I don't know what the name of his restaurant would be, but definitely something short, spanish, and aesthetic/poetic. Maybe a reference to Max to allude to the Hermanos part.

Bonus : I know they don't canonically meet, but in my AU I think Chuck, as a rich lawyer, would eat at Gustavo's often. They'd be acquainted :) And maybe Jérôme aka Jimmy meets him thru his brother and later discovers Gus' shady side, when the events of BrBa start.

One Bed and a Storm

All Characters are 21+

I arrived at the motel at around midnight, I started falling asleep while driving so I knew that I couldn’t make it to my cousin’s home without falling asleep. I went to the front desk to book a room. This handsome guy walks up and does the same. The two receptionists look at each other, a bit hesitant. “Is everything alright?” the guy asks. The receptionist that I was working with begins to speak, “So we only have one room left, and it only has one bed. As he came first we’re going to offer it to him but that would mean that there is no room for you”. The other receptionist looks up as if they got a bright idea, “Unless sir you’re okay with sharing your room with this gentleman”. Now the pressure was on me, I mean I wouldn’t mind but would he? I guess he also needs some place to stay for the night, so no. “I’m okay with it” I say as we all look at the guy standing next to me. “Me too” he says. “Well that’s great. Here’s your key, Room 5B” the receptionist on my side says. “Thank you” I say “Thank you very much” the guy says. We walk to our room in silence at first but then I ask, “So um what’s your name?”. He looks at me and says “Oh my name is Jason, what’s your name?”. “I’m Mark”. We get to the room and Jason unlocks the door and turns on the light. “It’s not as small as I thought. I guess not as big as a mansion but we won’t be packed like sardines” Jason says. I smile, “Yeah it’s nice. I’m glad it’s clean. I’ve always heard of run down motels, so I was worried this was going to be one of those.” I say talking a bit too much. Jason chuckles a bit, “I get it. But this place seems super clean”. Jason walks over to the bed, “So do you prefer a side or can you sleep whichever?”. “I can sleep wherever. If it’s too weird for you I can sleep on the floor” I say bringing my luggage to the side closest to the door. “No, it’s fine. We can sleep on the same bed. I don’t kick” Jason says, bringing his luggage to the side closest to the bathroom. Jason looks up at me, “Hey, I’m kinda hungry. There’s a diner next door, do you wanna come with?”. “Oh I don’t know. I don’t want to be a bother” I say trying to not make Jason feel bad. “Oh I insist. I mean let me take you out to a meal as thanks for letting me share your room”. “Alright sure”. Jason smiles and he and I walk out the door to the diner.

At the diner we sit down in a booth and begin to talk while we wait for our waiter. “So Mark what are you doing here? If you don’t mind me asking”. “Oh it’s okay. I’m here to see my cousin, well I would have but I was starting to get tired at the wheel so I had to get to the motel. What about you?” “I found out that my boyfriend was dating someone else while dating me. So I had to get away, I was seeing him on vacation and this motel was a stop before I make it home tomorrow. I don’t know what I’ll do when I get there though.” Our waiter comes before I could ask Jason more about it. We both order a burger with french fries. The waiter walks away and we get back to talking. “What do you mean you don’t know what you’ll do when you get home?” I ask. “Well, I was planning on moving in with my boyfriend, but I can’t now. So I’ll have to find a new job.” “Well if you’re ever in Sunshine City and need a place to stay you can always hit me up, if you want”. Jason smiles and our food comes. We thank the waiter and eat our food. After we finish we pay and leave a nice tip and go back to our motel.

Back at the motel we use the bathroom and take our showers separately. I walk out of the shower in some pajama shorts and a t-shirt. Jason has on a tank top and shorts. “Thanks for taking me out by the way. I really appreciate it” “And thank you for the room again and for giving me a place to visit in Sunshine City”. I lay down in bed next to Jason and we turn on the tv. Who’s The Boss is on but we’re not really paying attention. “Tony Danza really had a good butt” I say, Jason laughs. “Well he does. It’s nice, they even mention it on the show”. Jason continues to laugh. We go back to watching the show, or at least trying to. Jason looks at me, “Hey can I ask you a question?” “What’s up?” Jason hesitates a bit before laughing a little, “Do you mind if I fart?”. I laugh now, “No I don’t mind. Let it rip if you gotta”. Jason squints a bit

PBBBBBRRRRRTTTTT

We laugh. I hold up a finger in the air

PPRRRRTTTTT

We laugh again.

PPBBRBBBRRBB

PPRRRTTTT

PPBBBRRTT

PBBBPPBBBRR

PBPBPBBRT

PBBRRRBBTBBPPTTTT

“I haven’t had this much fun farting since I was with my ex. Well I was the only one having fun really” Jason said. “Hmm well I’m glad that I could have fun with you. We should do this again sometime” I say. Jason puts his hand on mine, “Yeah we should”. I smile and grab my phone and open my contacts, “Here write your number”. He writes in his phone number and gives me his phone so I can do the same. “Are you ready to go to sleep?” I ask, “Yeah” Jason says smiling afterwards. We turn off the TV and the lights and go to bed. 

I wake up first, I forgot where I was for a second. I get up and look out the window. It’s snowing, it’s snowing a lot. Can I drive in this weather? “What are you doing?” Jason asks. “It’s snowing. Alot” I say. Jason turns on the TV and the weather report says that there was a snow storm last night, it seems unsafe to drive. “I’m gonna call my cousin and let her know that I’ll be here for the time being” I say grabbing my phone. “Yeah sure” Jason says, walking to the window to look outside. “Hey Jamie yeah I’m still here. No don’t come there’s so much snow I don’t want you to get stuck. I’ll be fine Jason, the guy I’m with has been really nice. Okay hopefully I can see you tomorrow, … yeah if he wants to. Alright bye bye” I hang up the phone and walk over to Jason. “So Mark you wanna go get breakfast at the diner. Maybe we can ask if there’s a market or something nearby” Jason says when I approach him. “That sounds good, let’s swing by the front desk first” I tell him, Jason nods and we make our way to the front desk. 

There was so much snow, but we made it safely to the front desk. “Hey glad to see you too again” the receptionist that helped us last night said, I look at their name tag, their name is Craig. “You guys work the day shift too?” Jason asks. The receptionist next to them, her name tag says that her name is Solar, she begins to speak, “Usually we have the morning off but because of the sudden snow storm the morning staff can’t come in.” “Is anything open? We wanna get something to eat, maybe even to last for a day or so” I ask. “Because of the snowstorm everything is closed. But we do have some food here and the diner should be opening for lunch. We can give you the menu and you’ll have to pick it up” Craig says. “We can’t eat inside the diner?” Jason asks. “Nope the cold wind sticks in the diner for longer than it should, and sometimes snow blows in and that could make it slippery in the diner” Solar says. “Thank you both. So do we have to pay for another day?” I ask. “Nope, because of the storm everyone is basically stuck here so it’s being covered. So you get to stay warm and cozy in your rooms. Here let me give you the menu for the diner” Craig says smiling after. We thank them and head back to our room. “Hmm they got breakfast burritos. Says they come with beans and cabbage. One for you, one for me?” Jason says. I nod and Jason takes out his phone to call them.

About 20 minutes later Jason went and picked up our food and came back to our room. The burritos look good. We devour our food and watch tv. “Hey Jason since you have nothing to do after this, why don’t you come with me to visit my cousin. She’s getting married in two days.” “Hmm let me think about it. I mean I don’t want to impose” “No you won’t. She said that she’d love to have you. Plus it’s nice to have a date at these sort of things. We can just go as friends if you’d like. Plus free food” “Well if you put it that way. Oh but I don’t have a suit.” “Oh don’t worry, her brother is a tailor and we can get some dress pants and a nice button up in the stores nearby.” Jason smiles “Well then yes I’ll go with you” “Wonderful! I’ll let her know”

An hour after I made the call I laid in bed watching tv, Jason stood by the window and looked outside. If it wasn’t for the tv we’d be in silence, I don’t know if it was much of a difference though. I kept watching tv until I heard

PPPBBRRTTT

I looked over to Jason, “Sorry”. “Don’t be, we had a good breakfast” He turned around and walked over to the bed and sat next to me. “Anything on your mind?” I ask. “I don’t know. Maybe I’m rushing into things” he says. “Well if I think I know where you’re going. We’re not dating, so there's no rush. But if you’d like to try, I consent”. “I do too” and with that he turns to me and locks his lips with mine. We fall onto the bed and I can feel my heart rate increasing. He pushes his hand on my stomach.

PPBBRRTT

“Sorry” I say, stopping the kiss. Jason smiles

PBPPRRTTTT

“Don’t be” he says and we go back to kissing. As we kiss we go back and forth.

Bbbbbrrraaaappt

Ppppprbbbttt

RrrRrNNNT

PppPpbbrrrttt 

Ppbbrrttt 

Bbrrttt 

BBBbbrrttt

Rhhrrttt

We stop and he lays down next to me. “I liked that” I say. “You did?” “Yeah, it was nice. I’ve never farted while I made out with someone before.” “Bet you haven’t had a farting contest with your date before” Jason says before raising  an eyebrow

Ppprrbbbbbbbvrrraarrpt

“Beat that” he says. I smile and then scrunch my face

Bbllppllrrnbtbtnntbplrt

He puts his arm around me and kisses my cheek. “You’re good” “You’re good too”

BBRRRRBBbbapprttt

PPRRRBbbptTttt

PPPBBBBBRRRrrrr

PPBPRRRRttt

“So how do you feel now?” I ask.

PBBBBRTTTT

“Ahh much better” he says before we laugh. “But seriously, you made me feel better. I guess I said goodbye to my ex long before I realize that I did. What I’m saying is that I’ll be glad to be your date”.

BBRRPPPTTT

“I’m glad” I pause thinking a little, “I like you Jason”. “And I like you Mark”. We kiss again.

PPBBBRRTTT 

BBHHRRTTT

“Hey look, looks like the weather is gonna clear up tomorrow. We can make it to your cousin’s” Jason says pointing at the weather report. “Great! Let’s make the most out of today” I say going on top of Jason and kissing him.

Bbbrnnnnt

Plllrrrbbbrt

BBbrbbbpptt

Pppffrrttt

RRrrrvBbpptt

Ppbbprbvbtt

Bbbbppttt

I lay back down next to him. “I’m glad we had to share a room” I say. “I am too” he says. We turn back to the tv as we cuddle. I’m glad to spend tomorrow with him, and I know he is too.

i know free day for zackseph week is over and you got your own things going on but if i may unleash a few plot bunnies for you to play with : what are zack and seph doing on the first day of school? what if transfer student situation :3c any grade or level of university, are they already friends or are they meeting for the first time? and like yeah sure super smart all honors classes sephiroth and jock bro zack, what if we reverse it? how silly can we get?

*leaves the box of plot bunnies open and runs*

YESSS ANON I LUV YOU!!! 🤣❤️ Plot bunnies wooooo!

(Intentionally OOC crisis core characters!! Kunsel & Zack besties forever lmaoo.)

~

(Zack, sitting alone at the lunch table, with stacks of books surrounding him on both sides as he scribbles furiously in a green spiraled notebook. He is completely oblivious to the distant snickers of the Jocks, who have just adopted ShinRa High’s recent transfer student—Sephiroth Crescent, a scorer of over 170 on the pacer test—into their sporty clique.)

Lux: Annnnd that’s him, over there. Zack Fair. The biggest bookworm you’ll ever find on the planet. Kisses every teacher’s ass, spends every waking hour in a book… bessst to just keep your distance.

Kuns: No kidding. Can you imagine your entire life revolving around school? Like… pick your damn head up, dude. Smell some fresh air.

(Another round of chuckles sound around Sephiroth’s table, yet the silver-haired senior remains silent.)

Lux: Oh—get this, Sephiroth. Y’know Mr. Hewley? The English teacher? He goes there during his free periods. Can literally just come here and get a snack; instead, goes to write speeches or shit with a teacher nobody likes.

Kuns: Heh, well, what do you expect when you got no friends? Gotta have someone of equal level. Right, Sephirot—?

(But Sephiroth was already gone, having sailed across the cafeteria, mercury hair swishing behind him as he takes his new seat across from the black-haired junior.)

Sephiroth: May I sit here, please?

(Zack glances up, blue eyes blinking in what could only be described as complete and utter surprise.)

Zack: …Y-yeah! Of course :)

(He moves his lunch bag and texts, then immediately shuts the green notebook to make some room.)

Zack: Are you new around these parts? Don’t think I’ve seen you around.

Sephiroth: Heh, yes. I just moved to Midgar this year. I’m Sephiroth.

(He reaches out his hand, and Zack happily shakes it)

Zack: Zack Fair! At your service :)

(He then notices the empty area where Sephiroth is sitting, blinking again in puzzlement.)

Zack: …Do you have any lunch with you?

(There’s a beat of silence, slightly thick.)

Sephiroth: …I, heh. Don’t eat lunch.

Zack: …Oh? Well, there’s lots of good food here! First thing anyone should know about any school, if you ask me.

(He pushes his box of french fries across the table.)

Zack: Help yourself!

Sephiroth: …Heh, that’s okay. Thank you.

Zack: You sure? It’s good for the soul :)

(In spite of himself, Sephiroth can’t help but smile a little. Nor can he help the sense of ease that settles over him; a warm, budding comfort that lets the next words slide out not as jaggedly as they may seem.)

Sephiroth: Thank you, truly. It’s, just… heh. I don’t think my father would like me eating those.

(In an instant, empathy flickers across Zack’s face, and he nods in understanding.)

Zack: …Ah. I got ya. No worries then. My dad can be a little strict too.

Sephiroth: Oh?

Zack: Heh, yeah. Pushes me really hard to get into all our AP classes, y’know? Can just be… super stressful.

(Now it’s Sephiroth’s eyes that suddenly flicker, softening in understanding.)

Sephiroth: Mmn, I see. I’m… sorry to hear that.

(Zack smiles a sheepish smile as he rubs his neck.)

Zack: Aww, thanks. Don’t worry about it though. Managed to make some really cool teachers in the advanced classes! Speaking of~

(He starts to pack up his stuff, popping the last of the french fries in his mouth before tossing it in the trash.)

Zack: Gonna head over to Mr Hewley’s for a bit! You wanna come?

(Inconspicuously, Sephiroth spares a quick glance to new batch of “friends”, the likes of whom had been gaping at it for the past three or so minutes. And it was then that he realized his decision could not be any clearer.)

Sephiroth: Absolutely.

~

Be a friend, folks!! ❤️💕 The world needs more of ‘em!

Louis XIII and his cooking adventures 🍴🥞

When it comes to our Louis XIII cult, I often refer to the king's iconic omelettes, but what about his other stuff? For example, he really loved sweets (like beignets or jams), but could he also cook them? The answer is YES, and that's not even all yet!

Louis was a curious child who's head was already filled with various interests and cooking became one of them when he was only ten years old at the time (which is quite unusual for a king). First ever case of the king cooking was recorded on february 11th of 1611, when he was preparing milk soups for the Duchess of Guise / Catherine of Cleves. So milk soup, most likely, could be Louis' very first dish made by himself!

Of course many kids have a sweet tooth and our precious omelette king was not an exception which I guess is why he started to learn how to cook mostly from recipes of sweets. Also, take a shot every time I say "sweets" or "cooking" (don't..) 🕊️

So, among 17th century royal sw- *ahem* DESSERTS we had in our menu – a jam, quince jelly, beignets (basically french donuts) and marzipans. In a well-known, among many of y'all Louis stalkers, journal of his doctor Jean Héroard I found some clear evidence of Louis XIII cooking some of these himself, so here it is feat. me periodically panicking over my own translation because my half-french friend is too busy atm and I don’t wanna bother them:

June 6th, 1611 — «He walks through the corridor from the study to the paneled gallery where he had an oven for making jams, he is amused to see how it's done.» I know it's not exactly him cooking, but I just wanted to leave it here :")

October 15th, 1612 — «Madame comes to see him; he has fun making jam with Mademoiselle de Vendôme»

January 29th, 1613 — «He often has fun making almond milk and marzipans at Madame's house.»

March 6th, 1615 — «It was very cold; he goes to the kitchen, makes omelettes, beignets, fried eggs; it was he who made them and ate a little of that he tasted.» Pretty sure the last few words could be translated better because it's always rather my terrible french or a little confusing way of Héroard's writing, so feel free to correct me.

February 3rd, 1616 — «He is preparing a small snack of dry jam for the queen, who must come to him at two o'clock. After going back to bed, he happily forms various battalions of his little silver men.»

February 5th, 1622 — «He leaves Saint-Germain, goes to Pontoise, where he enjoys making and eating beignets; while dining at Cormeille, he suddenly goes to the goblet in which he makes little cream puffs.» The original text says «petits choux au lait» and I have no idea what could that exactly be, but it seems like some sort of little éclair-like buns made of milk? Little cream puffs?? Maybe by «choux au lait» Jean meant «choux à la crème» which were invented back in 1540 in France.

I know you've been waiting for the quince jelly too, but unfortunately I couldn't find anything about the jelly :c Though, judging by what we've got here It's still quite possible Louis could cook quince jelly as well, hmm... Anyways, if you know something I don't know of the jelly mystery, hit me up!

In the future, this great love for desserts will be inherited by his son Philippe I, Duke of Orléans (brother of Louis XIV), who is also a very interesting character in history!!

In conclusion I must say that Louis not only had a sweet tooth, but also a big love for trying out different things, all this curiosity and pure excitement, even when it comes to something so simple and familiar like food, will never ever stop to fascinate me :"D

Btw speaking about Louis 'trying out different things', I of course still have a lot to share on this as well! Stay tuned and have a good day/night 💘💘💘

Hello! I'm passing by with an opportunity to ramble if you'd like! :D I know you like Raph - what about Raph as a character appeals to you (any or all versions)? Do you have favorite Raph moments or episodes? Out of the other turtles, who do you enjoy Raph's dynamic with the most?

Yes, I would actually like to do that. Thank you much!! I've been wanting to post and write more now that classes are done, and this was a helpful kick-start. A little too helpful, some might say. Very long post ahead.

What about Raph as a character appeals to you (any or all versions)?

Honestly, liking Raph took me by complete surprise. Growing up on 12 and getting back into my TMNT fixation with Rise, Leo and Donnie were my favorite turtles by far. But then I decided to watch as much as I could in chronological order. 87 Raphael was not at all what I expected, and I immediately loved him. He's hilarious and exudes the kind of sarcasm I can only aspire to. And as I began watching and rewatching shows and movies, I realised a lot of them have this dry wit that appeals to my sense of humor.

Raphs also go through so much crap internally and externally, and I'm a sucker for angst. Plus, it's so important to me that no matter how much they struggle, no one gets and loves them so well as their family. Maybe a weird example, but I love Mr. Nice Guy (1987), in which Donatello's Personality Alterator gets turned on him accidentally, and the other three freak out and send him to therapy. Like it's a silly situation, but the fact that they clock something's really wrong in the way he's not acting like himself and get him help is heartwarming.

Had a good laugh earlier this week at the realisation that most Raphs are particularly sweet on kids, old blind folks, and animals. Followed a couple of days later by the thought, duh, these populations are particularly vulnerable to abuse and harm, so of course, a Raph is going to be protective of them.

Also, sai are so cool, what the heck. Can't believe I was obsessing over katana as a kid when sai are right there. With my limited understanding, they may not always be shown correctly in TMNT? But they're truly very neat weapons, and sai kata are cool to watch.

Do you have favorite Raph moments or episodes? 

Gotta love the classic

87 Donatello: Oh well, you know women. 87 Raphael: No, we don't!

Raphael Meets His Match (1987) is perfect. No notes.

90s Raph and Casey's first fight ("Cricket! Nobody understands cricket. You gotta know what a crumpet is to understand cricket"), then he goes home and curls up with Splinter to cry about getting his butt kicked by Some Dude. He's quite the daddy's boy in the 90s.

Raph's voice is unfairly gorgeous in Coming Out of Their Shells. I straight up clutched my heart the first time I heard it

Mikey: Tell 'em Raph! Raph: It isn't burgers or french fries that work for turtles of our size

I love this silly line entirely because of his voice and delivery. He's also fun to watch on stage. One of my favorite bits is this backward skip he does when he sings, "And moving backwards is a crying shame!"

The one where Venus gets her name

TNM Leo: Hey, Venus! Uh, what's with the statue head? TNM Raph: Hahaha! She won it in the park, slaying bad guys.

After the TNM gang saves a baby turtle from a poacher, Raph gets on the floor to be at eye level with her

Raph: You know what, you're kinda cute for such an ugly little thing. I'm you're Uncle Raph~ You wanna go for a ride in my hog? Ayo, Donnie! Can you make her a teeny tiny helmet?

And then Donnie teases him while everyone stares, so he gets offended (read: embarrassed), and Leo teases him harder, and he gets even more offended.

Just thinking about the beginning of Meet Casey Jones (2003) makes me tear up.

The almost as funny successor

12 Donnie: She's the most beautiful girl I've ever seen 12 Raph: Isn't she the only girl you've ever seen? 

As a fellow biggest sibling, Rise Raph in Pizza Puffs is such a mood. Also love the scene where he eats his phone in Mystic Library.

Out of the other turtles, who do you enjoy Raph's dynamic with the most? 

87 Raphael and Donatello's dynamic is very important to me. In my heart, they're twins. Some of my favorite episodes are the ones where they pair off or take the same side of a team argument: Splinter Vanishes, The Big Blow Out, Back to the Egg, Dirk Savage: Mutant Hunter, Combat Land, Cry H.A.V.O.C.!, etc. I also love this line from My Brother, the Bad Guy

Raphael: Okay, this is the point at which we get squashed like bugs, or! turn to Donatello for help. R+M+L: DONATELLO! 

Coming Out of Their Shells Sunset Duo are the besties everrrrr. Mikey raps a whole verse in Cowabunga about how Raph is his best friend and they wrote all of the music together and that is like the most epic thing ever and I love their energy and how they play off each other on stage and they love each so much I can't– 

TNM Raph and Venus!! The siblings ever, truly. So much sass. They are both overprotective of each other. They're literally the best.

03 Sunset Duo will never not be funny. Raph can be tricked into verbally affirming he loves Mikey when he thinks one or both of them are about to die. Raph is also incredibly distraught about Mikey possibly and then actually winning the Battle Nexus Tournament. Peak comedy and siblinghood.

07 Raph and Leo quite possibly make me feral. "Is he kiddin'? He's lecturing." I still can not believe he didn't know Raph was Nightwatcher. For so many reasons, but especially because some of his initial comments in that fight are pointed. I always wonder if, on some unconscious level, he did know. And then Raph goes through a battery of emotions with the katana breaking and pinning Leo and then running and all the screaming, gosh. Leo, too. They're so similar it hurts.

I also love 12 Sunset Duo, but I think I love the A-Team a little more. Honestly, their interactions remind me so much of my siblings and I. Pushing each other's buttons so hard, then taking over the world together. Actively trying to kill each other, but minutes later, they're professing their undying love. So much ganging up on their little siblings. Leo gets adorably excited with him sometimes ("Look, Raph, mouser-kebabs!"), and Raph is frequently going, how are we related??? ("Halt? Villain?? When did we start talking like that?!" and "Dude, it literally hurts to listen to you sometimes"). Favs.

Thanks for asking, and I hope everyone who made it here enjoyed the ride!

Prequel Drabble - The Whole Story

I asked for writing prompts of location/object/line of dialogue. My friend Amy (who, incidentally, inspired the OC character of the same name in my fic) said:

the location is a 50’s diner, the object is my thumb, the line is “don’t ask me if you don’t want my answer”

The following is a prequel. It has two original characters, who are Hermione’s (Muggle) college roommates in NJ. —

Hermione shifted uncomfortably on the seat of the sparkling red vinyl booth, scowling at Amy who wasn’t even looking at her, just giving her a thumbs down as she continued eating her french fries.

“I hate it when she does this,” Hermione said to Jenna, who was seated next to Amy.

Jenna merely cringed by way of reply, looking nervously between her two roommates.

“You know what? Fine,” Amy said, retracting her arm and reaching for her chocolate shake instead, “but in future, don’t ask me if you don’t want my answer.”

“It’s not even an answer!” Hermione cried, then jumped slightly as the waiter appeared next to her, sliding into view across the black and white checkered floor. His grin was as gaudy as the chrome accents peppered throughout the restaurant.

“Alrighty-roo, I know you cats ain’t been hollerin’ but I thought I’d swing on by the check on ya! Anything else I can do ya for?” he said.

“There are so many things wrong with what you just said, I find myself at a loss for words,” Amy replied, deadpan. The 50’s-style diner on Route 17 had the most flamboyantly stereotypical decor, as if an actual diner from the 50’s had drank ceremonial plant medicine, and then vomited out an interior design scheme. It also had the waitstaff to match.

The waiter seemed not to take in Amy’s words, because he just smiled and said, “Sounds good, toots, I’ll bring the check over in a jiff.” Then, he slapped his pad of paper onto his left palm, spun around, and walked jauntily away, elbows swinging.

Jenna giggled. “I should get a job here.”

“Jenna, nooo!” Hermione cried.

At the same time, Amy turned to her and said, “You’d be perfect.”

Hermione rolled her eyes, refocusing on Amy. “So you’re really not going to tell me why you so strongly object to Leon? I mean, god’s sake, Ames, all I said was I thought he was cute.”

“He’s a pig,” Amy replied, with such a matter-of-fact tone that Hermione had to narrow her eyes in suspicion.

“You say that as if you’ve had some experience with him.”

Amy scoffed loudly, throwing her head back as she did so. “Here’s the thing, girls,” she said, turning in the booth so that she was also facing Jenna. “When you get fucked over by one too many boys, you start to have radar for the ones who are gonna be total asswipes. And I, unfortunately, have an incredibly fine-tuned radar, okay? Which is why I am telling you that Leon is exactly the type who will waste years of your life, only to get bored eventually and move on to someone else!”

“Fine! Okay! I believe you, but could you just say that next time instead of shoving your thumb in my face?”

“I’ll consider it,” Amy said, taking a bite of a fry while holding eye contact with Hermione.

“Wow,” said Jenna, “I wish I had radar for that.”

“No worries, Jen. That’s what you have me for,” Amy said with a rare sweet smile.

Jenna sighed. “Well thank goodness for that. I certainly don’t wanna get mixed up with someone who’s gonna waste years of my life.”

“Your man’s on the way, Jenna. Someone who loves, or at least supports your Disney obsession, and makes you laugh like he’s tickling you every time he talks.”

Jenna stared over at Amy, open-mouthed. “How do you know that’s exactly what I want?

Amy shrugged. “I’ve lived with you for six months now, but I probably could have told you that after one.”

“Oh really?” said Hermione with a challenging smirk. “What is it that I’m after, then?” she said, then sat back, crossing her arms over her chest, extremely intrigued to hear Amy’s take on what she wanted.

Amy had just begun to sip her milkshake, and so held up a single finger as she finished and placed the tall glass back onto the table. She wiped her mouth with a paper napkin, then crumpled it and tossed it onto her plate as she began to speak.

“You want an intellectual equal. Someone who’s as big of a fucking nerd about school as you are, but not in an obvious way. He’s intelligent and refined, and he does have a sense of humor, but it’s very dry. The shit he says goes over a lot of people’s heads, and he doesn’t even care. Furthermore, he is enamored with you, and possessive in a way that makes you feel safe, not trapped.”

She picked up her milkshake as she finished this little speech, sucking up the dregs at the bottom and emptying the glass before placing it down once again.

Quirking an eyebrow at her friend, Hermione said, “Well I’m not sure about that last bit, but otherwise… you seem to have been reading my journal.”

Jenna gasped, turning to Amy in alarm. “Did you read our journals?!”

With another scoff, Amy said, “Please, I don’t have to. Everything I said is written all over the both of you.”

Hermione and Jenna sighed in unison, then became contemplative and quiet while Amy handled the check.

Once everything was taken care of, Hermione piped back up with, “I just wonder if someone like that even exists, you know?”

At this, Amy smirked in that all-knowing way she so often did. “Patience,” she said.

That was the last thing that was said on the matter, as they exited the diner and headed back to campus.

Characters I don't wanna be paired with: Just nobody childish please, okay? Thanks!!

Gender/Pronouns: Girl, she/her! Girl or guy: Either one is fine with me =D

Ideal Partner: In a partner, I look for someone who can balance me out. Someone who's sweet and caring and kind of soft, but also has a bit of a chaotic side like I do. I also love someone who's good at comforting others, someone supportive.

Description of myself: I get easily distracted. I'm a procrastinator and I get distracted a LOT, though when it really comes down to it, I can focus well if I need to. Very creative, always daydreaming. I'm an optimist, though sometimes I can worry about school stuff/get stressed over it, that doesn't happen often. I'm very spontaneous, always looking to try new things. I'm extremely passionate, and curious too(my family calls me a chismosa, though I don't actually spread gossip- I just listen in on it). I'm a bit hyper, very impulsive, and yet somehow a bit lazy at the same time. I'm open, honest, and stubborn too.

Hobbies: I like to play video games, write/read, and draw a bunch!! I also love to collect stickers and put them on every surface possible, including my own face occasionally. I also like watching horror movies at nighttime knowing damn well it's a bad idea. I also watch cartoons too though.

Love Languages: I love giving affection, endless amounts of PDA, and I love to receive the same!! I like giving and receiving compliments too.

Ideal Date: Fast food picnic. Basically me and my partner go to a fast food place, pick up a feast of junk food, then go to a park or a rooftop and sit there, eating and talking about our interests, lives, plans for the future, etc. I just think it would be a really fun thing to do.

Likes: Animals, planning for the future, singing, Literature Class, Computer Science Class, CONSPIRACY THEORIES

Other: Let's see... my MBTI is "The Debater" though I can never remember the exact letter combo. My Hogwarts house is Hufflepuff I think, my Divergent Factor is Amity, my PJO Cabin is Apollo, and my spirit animal is a Hummingbird.

Thank you for reading this request, hope you have a fantastic day!! =D

headcanons

🥛 i thought of kuroo first for you because he's very emotionally intelligent

🥛 like he can adjust himself to fit in with people, and that means he's always a good person to be around and is a great mediator and leader

🥛 meaning he'll be able to perfectly balance you out; i think he's an ambivert so he's got a quiet side to him but is also kind of a mess at times

🥛 kuroo also strikes me as a spontaneous guy and this definitely translates into your daily life together, as well as on dates

🥛 your personalities are similar so i feel like you'd instantly connect and mesh well

🥛 he definitely likes playing video games (he does it all the time with kenma) so you'd definitely spend HOURS playing a game together, whether you're on the same team or playing against each other lol

🥛 he doesn't strike me as a horror lover but he'd totally be down to watch something with you

🥛 probably points out all the logical plot holes and berates the characters for being dumb lol

🥛 kuroo would absolutely shower his partner with compliments

🥛 i forget if i've ever commented on his stance on pda but i think he's not the type to shy away from it, although he wouldn't randomly jump on you and have a twenty minute makeout session in public either

🥛 he likes a fancy dinner date every now and then but there's something super intimate about french fries and milkshakes on a rooftop and just talking about your dreams together

🥛 which i never thought of this before but now i need to do

🥛 okay but he would totally be obsessed with various conspiracy theories (wild science ones for sure!) and would spend hours with you finding the weirdest ones on reddit or something

🥛 he'd love playful banter about all these theories too

🥛 he knows you don't like studying but it's important (you can't tell me kuroo isn't valedictorian), so he'd force you to have study dates with him

🥛 but he will for sure help you out with any questions you have

🥛 and he's a REALLY good teacher

runner up for you was sugawara kōshi!

A/N: hi 🛸anon! thank you for your request (it's been about a month since my last matchup i believe!) and i hope you enjoyed your match!

A Handsome Man In The Midst Of Good Luck / Episode 7

Author: Chitose Umeda

Characters: Niki, HiMERU, Kaoru, Rei

"Kukuku... As expected, you expertly dodged and put an end to the conversation, didn't you?"

← Previous ✧ Directory ✧ Next →

Season: Winter

Location: Diner

Niki: I accidentally left my wallet and phone behind when I went out. I couldn't go shopping, and I was too hungry to go back to the dorms.

While I was in a daze, I heard a familiar voice...

I'm glad I was able to grab your leg before hunger got the better of me, HiMERU-kun!

HiMERU: HiMERU was wondering what on earth could have happened...

Kaoru: I know, right~? Because when we looked down at our feet, we saw Shiina-kun on the verge of collapse.

Rei: ...I was surprised at that, too. And I am also surprised at the amount of food Shiina-kun can eat.

Niki: Really? This is normal, right?

By the way, I've tasted everything before eating, so there's no need to worry about it!

Rei: My goodness... Dear me, just looking at it makes me feel full.

Niki: I mean. I'd be more surprised about HiMERU-kun than me! Did you see the lottery results attached to the package?!

If the campaign is to win between a free ticket and a discount ticket in a lottery, normally most of the tickets should be discount tickets―

But every time he flipped a ticket, he got a free one! With this many free tickets, you can have infinite french fries!

HiMERU: The exchange period will start at a later date, so you can't use them now, Shiina.

Niki: Oh, that's right. I guess I'll have to wait for the infinite fries another time, unfortunately... *Munch munch*

Kaoru: See?! Let's talk more about the results. This is too much luck, you know.

Rei: Well, considering HiMERU-kun's good fortune today, perhaps it's to be expected...

Niki: ? HiMERU-kun's good fortune?

Come to think of it, why are you two with HiMERU-kun? It's an unusual combination, isn't it?

Rei: Kukuku. It is a long tale, would you like to hear it?

Niki: Nah, I'm busy eating, so please make it quick.

HiMERU: ―Let HiMERU explain. It's not a big deal...

A few minutes later

Niki: Huuh, so something like that really happened.

But I understand why HiMERU-kun went out to town. If he got caught by Rinne-kun, I'm sure it'd be bad for me too.

Kaoru: Would it really be as bad as you say?

After all, high school students can't enter pachinko parlors, and they can't buy betting tickets because they're under the age of 20... I think there'd be many restrictions.

Niki: He'd use every possible trick to get through them.

HiMERU: That man is Amagi, after all.

Niki: I'm sure he'd be happy to drag HiMERU-kun around with him, and take advantage of his good luck by squeezing it out of him.

Rei: I have heard a lot of things said about him from other people...

Niki: Nahaha. I wonder if Rinne-kun is sneezing somewhere because of the gossip we spread about him~

HiMERU: ...Shiina. You don't have to split the free tickets. HiMERU will give them all to you.

Niki: Ehh, why?! Don't you wanna have infinite fries?!

HiMERU: HiMERU is concerned about the carbohydrates and calories. And besides, you would be happier if you got to enjoy the french fries, Shiina.

Niki: I'm seriously super grateful, but... HiMERU-kun, you don't seem to be happy after winning so much.

Listening to the story, I felt that you weren't happy at all, even though you must've had a bunch of good luck.

Kaoru: That's right~ HiMERU-kun has been composed like this the whole time.

Niki: If someone said to me, "You are the five millionth visitor!" I'd be so happy and be like, "For real~?!"

Even if that didn't happen, I think I'd feel happy if someone just congratulated me.

And what's more, these free tickets! The thought of infinite fries awaiting me makes my heart skip a beat and my chest pound!

HiMERU: ―HiMERU is glad that Shiina is happy.

Niki: ...But you're not saying that you're "also" happy. I want HiMERU-kun to be happy, too.

HiMERU-kun, why isn't your heart pounding with excitement?

Kaoru: ...I thought it was strange, too, so I asked him about it. But in the end, I didn't get an answer.

Rei: "I've not had the luck I desire..." He said something along those lines before meeting with Shiina-kun.

Niki: Hmm? So if HiMERU-kun gets the luck he desires, he'll also be happy, right?

The luck for HiMERU-kun, the luck that HiMERU-kun wants to have. What exactly is it?

HiMERU: .........

―For example, let's say this.

Suppose HiMERU finds a hat to his liking on this particular day. Or, suppose that he finds a delicious cup of coffee.

Rei & Kaoru: ?

HiMERU: Due to that good encounter, HiMERU would have the feeling of joy that Shiina describes.... He would be happy.

But that's because HiMERU usually collects hats and drinks a lot of coffee...

It's because it's what he likes. A good hat, a good cup of coffee.

It is not luck that makes him think he has found "something good". HiMERU's happiness is based on his tastes and preferences.

Niki: ...Mmm~? Is it like when people who don't like spicy food aren't happy when they're offered all-you-can-eat spicy food?

Just because you can eat to your heart's content doesn't mean you have to be happy about it.

HiMERU: ...Fufu. It's a Shiina-like way of thinking, but it's not wrong.

If HiMERU had met him by chance on his travels, he might have felt "lucky"...

Time is running out for HiMERU to embark on a journey to see if such an event could be a blessing in disguise.

After all, it's only today that HiMERU will be extremely lucky.

Kaoru: ...I've never thought about it like that before. Even though he's younger than us, HiMERU-kun thinks like an adult.

I'm sorry for getting excited around you even though I was just tagging along. It must've been annoying.

HiMERU: That is unthinkable. HiMERU appreciates the fact that you were happy on his behalf. He didn't want to ruin the occasion.

Besides. It may not have been the best of luck for HiMERU, but it was surprisingly not bad.

Rei: Oh?

HiMERU: It seems that there were moments when the senpai had fun and were happy. Shiina was also pleased.

Everywhere we went, people congratulated HiMERU. Everyone had a smile on their face.

Bringing smiles to many people's faces is a great honor for an idol.

Rei: Kukuku... As expected, you expertly dodged and put an end to the conversation, didn't you?

In the end, we still do not know what good fortune is for HiMERU-kun.

For now, I think it is good to hear HiMERU-kun say that he is happy to see the smiles of those around him as an idol ♪

Jinkles fun facts bc I love him

I knowww I should probably be drawing right now but my autistic self decided I wanted to rant about my favorite clown ever!! If you wanna know something else or about my other characters (or just the fanfic in general) shoot an ask!!

Jinkles is very fluffy and skinny! This is due to his entire family being made up of mostly showdogs, he eats plenty but due to his high metabolism he can't help but be on the smaller side

His favorite fast food place is WcDonald's! He loves getting French fries and dipping them into his ice cream, they're his favorite food combo ever!!

He didn't know he was trans at a young age. He started experimenting with his gender at around 12 and started identifying as trans at about 14

His voice is very silly and energetic! I imagine him sounding like Wonder from Wonder Over Yonder

He's known Cuddles since childhood and that's probably why he cares about him despite him being- well, himself. They have a Pinky and The Brain dynamic together

He runs a show group named the Sparklecircus! (name may not be final) Although they travel now and again, their main job is to entertain the patients at the hospital, even if their acts contain more- concerning activities. You'll be meeting the rest of the group in the fanfic!

His favorite weapon is the chainsaw

He loves horror movies and franchises!! I won't be naming any of the things he would enjoy because they would definitely be disturbing and I'm not making parodies of them, but he does enjoy some more tame horror movies

He's a fan of My Tiny Fillies! (Spinch's version of My Little Pony) His favorite character is Pinky Pii (Pinkie Pie)

That's all for now!! Much love <3 <3

[parasocial bestie] seeing that ask answered and speeding thru 382983 mph reading and the questions and i go >:] cracks knuckles eats em like french fries i read the answers and honestly i have no brains to answer back What than just to handshake back 4 times and it rlly made me happi!!! ALSO QUESTIONS TIME FOR ME TO ANSWER DAMN?

a) i dont think i have like a main?? but like back in 2.7 it literally. got me back to Loving xiao to the extent I Am Now and its my whole personalith for the 848274th time so i took every chance jsut to have him in the team so i can hear his jp voice (i am very biased at his jp voice i can never unhear him and im not regretting it) so like hes now the Main Guy in my exploration teams ever with yelan nahida zhongli peepaw and i think the others speaks a lot too LMAOOOO

b) the ones mentioned alrd part of the lil list of i will die for them forever <33 and those in my past asks too like the chasm crew gets me Thinking of them no matter how i Dont Know them a lot more than theyve shown themselves (or i jsut didnt bother to be chronically obsessed 2 read them I LOVE SHINOBU AS SHE IS BUT DO I WANNA GO TO HER HANGOUTS AGAIN AND PICK EVERY SINGLE ONE OF HER LINES FOR LORE IDT SO i kiss my love <33) tho ei is that kind of Fav more like that i can understand her flaws even if its unjustified and she can be a bit childish so i just. Look Away sometimes now that wanderer got his own solace and have a new life with nahida whos a way better caretaker/friend (i will Die for their dynamic), i still get a lil irritated of the asian mom memes she gets put in too. the lil hcs of her with xiao is very much the silly self indulgence i like and separates her and the shogun cus i still think she has her twin's influences!! just Bad at social cues (unperceives her first story quest tho. that is not the Bad At Social Cues or Living in general that im looking for they dumbed her down So Bad) ANYWAYS did u know i missed albedo's banner once and i spent a year mourning endlessly worse than xiao until his rerun and got lucky in 40 pulls if xiao is for lumine then albedo is for ME. kazuha my beloved wanderer i would put him in a burrito blanket but will also willingly throw him off the cliff for the fucking snarkiness he has. venti has an entirely special place in my heart like another category like i do for xiao and lumine and zhongli bc hes. idk!! i think hes a very Comfort guy to me that i look so far past his drunkard ehe flirty femboy common perception of him, which is how i got too passionate on that one unpublished too. hes not the Little Guy type of comfort hes the 'he has this indescribable feeling of closeness and comfort and warmth i want to have in someone that i will meet one day', and i could go On and On about the little things ive thought of him while at the same time i dont focus too much to dig his canon lore!! more like, i pick off the important ones for sure and can already see the core parts of who he is and stick there :((( <3 the major thing is that i love seeing him as a love-all typa guy with no preferences as a god of freedom and his vibes are just so. aspec. so aro so ace he Doesnt Care more than he cares for everyone. which is why the ships can Tick Me Off esp the most famous one!! LIKE JEEZ!!! anyway Again the guys i Find Cool and digging thru my brain 2 remember rn; diluc (my lil tall gentleman) kokomi (queen) dehya (i just dont like her exposed midriff design can u feel) jean (her and diluc kaeya as a trio is Such A Dynamic!! i love trios!!) klee (actually id die for her too for being the canon sib to albedo) qiqi (the same for being the Headcanon sib to xiao) alhaitham (asshole. also ive delved into analyzing a Little of his character and i like his sense of neutrality to some things) kaveh (his Fucking Existence being a funny spectacle + i only focus on his briefcase friend Mehrak) THERES PROLLY MORE BUT IM NOT SURE IF I CANT RMB

c) ppl say mondstadt feels very homey and since its the first region we're introduced to i can agree!! and its home to a Lot More Mystery regarding the traveler since its the least explored i still think about the upside down statue a lot. but i cant rlly say if i have a Certain favourite that doesnt tie to my favs than my personal taste (the chasm rlly ingrained a Permanent Influence on me regarding sentimentality of loss) so i cant rlly choose!! liyue's got my boy and his peepaw + chasm, inazuma is the start of Really Great World Quests despite how hard it is to thru the region in general + enkanomiya is so Pretty and such a concept, sumeru has the same reasons and the caves are Irritating before the underground layouts are finally integrated in their official interactive maps. i just like to explore!!

d) idt i have much expectations that doesnt feel Petty like the ongoing issue of hyv prioritizing aether as their poster boy that lumine barely has any official work EVEN as the abyss sibling, 'both twins canon travelers' my ass. i think i would very much like a trading system but i Can understand why that wont work profit-wise for hyv BUT BELIEVE ME NOW NY SOLE REASON FOR IT IS JUST ME NEEDING SWEET FLOWERS FOR MY SWEET DREAM ALMOND TOFU HOARDING. i need sugar so bad. i have 300+ in the making i can never reach 1k. i need another xiao-centric quest cus lantern rite doesnt rlly center him and the chasm was a cultural reset But I Get that chasm occuring once is exactly why ir should stay that way to be Infuential and not repetitve and def not abt xiao being hyv's favourite guy SO HOW ABT BRINGING ALBEDO LORE BACK THIS YEAR. nahida venti 2nd story quest when. i think they should buff the traveler so much they shouldnt be ranked B as any role of a team!!! it's kinda sad theyre fun At first in sumeru then not anymore. i think thats it atm!!

note to self swap to jp voices if you ever get xiao. just looked up the voice and OHHHHHHHHHHH MY GOD DO NOT BLAME YOU ONE BIT WHAT THE FUCK. WHAT THE FUCK. WHAT THE FUCK. suddenly i am down bad oh my GOD.

Regressuary fill #3

Prompt: Character B is so exhausted from work that they pass out on the couch. They wake up piled under stuffed animals and blankets, with Character A quietly playing in front of them

Fandom: XCOM 2; gen verse?

Rating: PG

Warnings: N/A

Central rises to consciousness slowly. The world is heavy, soft. He tries to sit up, finds himself pushing through layers of blanket to do so. It's warm here and he's comfortable...

He sinks back down, roaming hands meeting the plush forms of stuffed animals he recognizes as belonging to the Commander.

He remembers now, he fell asleep on the couch in their quarters. But the soft stuff is new. He glances over at the quiet sound of murmuring.

In front of him, talking under their breath to themselves, is the Commander, who's currently making two small bobble headed dog figures chase each other.

Central feels his insides go mushy. That's a pretty cute sight to wake up to. He closes his eyes, listens to their gentle playing for a while.

When he opens his eyes again, the Commander is re-enacting what he thinks might be a scene from a movie, with one figure held to the edge of the coffee table as if hanging off it, while another stands nearby and monologues dramatically but still very very quietly.

He yawns, they turn.

"Central!" Their voice is bright.

"Hi, kiddo," he says.

"You comfy?"

He nods. They beam at him. "Tucked you in," they say, looking proud. "Stuffie army there to make sure you sleep good. No bad dreams!"

"No bad dreams," he confirms, gingerly sitting up, picking up the few plushies that fall off the couch as he does. "You did a great job."

"You up now?"

"Yeah," he says, yawning again. "I'm up. You need something, kiddo?"

"Hungry!"

He stands up, tucks the plushies together under the blankets. The Commander stands up, toys forgotten as they come over to them and grab at his hands. "Snack!"

"OK, ok, we'll get a snack," he says.

Central takes one of the Commander's small hands in his own and gently leads them along out of their quarters down to the kitchen. They sit on the counter swinging their legs as he rummages through cabinets. "What do you wanna eat?"

"I want fruit gummy," they say.

"You know we don't have that," he answers. The Commander frowns.

"I miss…fruit gummy," they say. Their voice hitches a little. "I miss… Lotta stuffs. Do you miss lotta stuffs too?"

Central swallows hard, doesn't turn to face them when he says, "Yeah, kiddo. I do."

"I miss hot milk and chocolates and cartoons and the toy store and … and fruit gummy," the Commander goes on. "I miss my old plushies and toys. I miss my house. I miss my cat."

"I miss coffee shops," Central says. "Football, pizza and sci fi movies."

The Commander is quiet now, kicking back and forth and back and forth. "We're gonna take it all back," they say in a poor imitation of him.

He nods. "Yeah," he says. "We will."

And finally, there in the back of the shelves, a lone can of peaches. Central grabs it, pours them out into a bowl. "Best we've got," he says.

The Commander takes the fork he offers and happily eats, mumbling around the fruit a thank you. Central nods at them. "Wish we had something better," he says. "Kids like you need more than we have…"

"Dino nuggets and french fries," says the Commander. "And pizza too."

"And vegetables," says Central.

The Commander sticks their tongue out at them, shaking their head at him. "Ew, yucky, no," they say.

"They're important, Commander."

"They're bad!"

Central rolls his eyes, smiling. The Commander finishes their snack, hops off the counter and washes the bowl in the makeshift sink.

"Now what?" Central asks.

"I wanna go outside," they say. "Wanna look for bugs and stuff."

Central hesitates. They haven't let the Commander go off the ship since they got rescued. Call him selfish but he's scared to, even if he'd be there.

The Commander pouts at him; he sighs.

"Fine," he says, "but let me go get my gun. Can't go out without being ready. You go get dressed, okay?"

Soon enough they're going down the Avenger ramp, the Commander running ahead of him excitedly, a scarf billowing out behind them. Central trails behind, gun at the ready.

The Commander stops at the bottom of the ramp, turns and looks back at him. "I'm gonna find you a frog."

"What do I need a frog for?" he asks, smiling despite himself.

"To make you hoppy!"

Central snorts. "That was really bad," he says.

The Commander sticks their tongue out at him again as they hurry into the long grass, toward the shore of a small lake in the tall shadow of the ship. Central hangs behind them, watching as they splash through the mud and chase dragonflies.

When the sun is low, he calls out to them-- "Time to come inside."

The Commander trudges over, pouting. They're flecked with mud, and Central tuts at them; they giggle.

"Empty your pockets," he says.

They do, revealing a round brown croaking lump of a toad and some rocks. "Look," they say. "Frog."

"That's a toad," Central says.

"Aww, so not hoppy?"

"Very, but let's put this thing back in the water," he says. "It won't be …hoppy to be kidnapped. Isn't nice to do that."

The Commander goes quiet. "Yeah," they say finally, and return to the water's edge, letting the toad hop back into the muck. They rejoin Central and walk back to the ship.

On the ramp, they stop. "Got something for you," they say.

"Not another toad, is it?"

They hold out a lumpy vaguely heart shaped stone, smiling shyly. Central takes it, turns it over in his hands.

"Thank you, Commander," he says.

They nod at him enthusiastically. "I'm gonna find you more nice rocks," they say. "You deserve nice rocks.."

Central feels something fuzzy and warm in his chest. "Not sure I agree," he says, "but I appreciate the thought. C'mon now, let's go inside."

Eventually the Commander gets a bath while Central prepares dinner for them, and the two sit in the Commander's Quarters on the couch, eating in comfortable silence.

When they're done, Central takes the plates away and washes them. Then he stops by his own bed, picks up the small book hidden under his pillow.

By the time he comes back, the Commander has curled up in bed, clutching an armful of plushies. They stare up at him hopefully. "Story?"

He sits on the edge of the bed, looks thoughtfully at them for a bit. "I think I've got something for you," he says, and produces the book.

He opens to the first page, begins to read. Every so often he glances at the Commander, who looks sleepier and sleepier each time. Finally, when he's just beginning to wrap up, he looks over and sees they've fallen asleep completely.

Central pulls the covers up to their chin. "Goodnight, Commander," he whispers quietly, and as carefully and softly as he can, slips out the door.

♡ FNAF 1 x reader ♡

Characters: Golden Freddy

Incudles: warm fluffy content ♡

Goldie is literally your best friend.

At first, he was trying to kill you - he didn't mean too You scared him like he scared you!

The reason why he wanted to hurt you in the first place was because your guys' first encounter wasn't so nice..

Because - well, you tried hitting him with your flash light.. it wasn't your fault! He popped out of nowhere and almost made you pee your pants!

But after a few nights he liked to watch you. Not in a perverted way - he really liked some of the things you did.

Like how you would panic whenever Bonnie moved from his stage, Bonnie liked scaring you the most out of the group. Or if you were doing a crossword puzzle, you'd gently bite your lip trying to figure out the word the definition gave you.

Or how you tug pieces of hair behind your ears. How you put on lip gloss was his favorite. When you are so focused, it's cute how you make a little frowny face if u mess up or add too much gloss.

He loved every small thing you did.

After the 4th night, you worked as a security guard. He finally decided to say hello. This time, he was very formal and very, very sweet. You didn't get scared, but u did panic a bit. But he did help calm your nerves telling you he wouldn't hurt you.

He is very sensitive out of the whole group. So it hurt him that he startled you again.

Golden Freddy would make sure the others wouldn't dare lay a hand on you. He has his scary ways of doing so - something you wouldn't wanna know about.

He also loves it when you teach him things! You taught him how to play gold fish. At first, he was very confused because he didn't understand why you said "gold fish." You told him if u say a random number and your opponent didn't have a certain numbered card. That’s why they say “Gold Fish”.

You found it cute. You'd also teach him how to play cooking games on your iPad. you brought it on the 6th night. It's hard for him to play since the screen can not read his hand/paw.

When you first said how hungry you were- he brought you a mouse - yes, a mouse. You were so confused, but you actually kept the mouse. You named it "Jerry."

You told him you eat stuff like pizza or French fries, like Chica. He would roll his eyes hearing pizza - he thinks of Chica all the time whenever that word pops out - and he doesn't like her very much.

Speaking of Jerry, you two would watch Tom and Jerry together on your iPad!

Goldie was amazed by the technology you had. He doesn't remember having it back then. But dont ask him how/why he is where he is now.. he is very touchy about that subject.

Goldie loves holding your hand. He thinks of it as a pillow. He says it's a nice soft feeling. He would hold your hands for hours and hours- so yes, your palms get a little sweaty. But let him know whenever u wanna stop holding hands.

He also enjoys booping his nose against your hand. He knows you adore the squeaky sound of his nose.

Goldie is really just a soft, soft person. He may be an animatronic, but he is a person to you. Also your new boyfriend! He asked you when you brought a tea set. He loves role-play, too! Especially pouring you fake tea into your cup and his. Talking with British accents, well, he has a lovely deep accent.

Besides everything else, he is your best loving boyfriend. Would do anything to make you happy. And yes.. he would even cook pizza for you or with you if you're absolutely starving.

Make sure to lock the door - Chica might get in.

( AAAA SO SORRY FOR NOT POSTING - This dang app wouldn't save my drafts, so it kept deleting my stories for you guys :c )

[togansweep]

hello vi, can u say how each succ character would behave at Disneyland/ any theme park of choice?

okay so I've never been to disneyland but I've been to legoland twice so I'm using that as a reference.

greg would absolutely love it. I don't know if you've ever been in legoland but I feel like greg would THRIVE there (that man has 100% seen lego batman). he's like an overexcited child and wants to try every single attraction.

tom pretends to be annoyed at this, "greg, you're a 6ft7 man, this should be like a normal tuesday because everyone is like a lego figurine to you." but he secretly really enjoys greg's enthusiasm.

up until the moment greg asks tom to join him on a rollercoaster, because if there's one thing tom's afraid of it's rollercoasters. "I'm in my 40s greg, if I get on a rollercoaster at this age I will probably get a heart attack. you don't want to be responsible for that, now do you, gregory?" "lots of old people go on rollercoasters, tom." "did you just call me old, greg?" "technically you like, did that yourself? but I think you're just scared." "now I'm old AND scared?? these accusations are really getting out of hand, greg, what are we going to do about this? do you want me to push you in the adventure land pond? the one with the lego crocodile? because I will, gregory! make the crocodile nibble on your long bambi legs." "if you really weren't old and scared you would just go on the rollercoaster with me." "you know what greg, why not. I'll prove you wrong once and for all."

tom spends the whole ride screaming with his eyes closed and he's holding greg's hand way too tightly. "if you breath a word of this to anyone I will feed you to a real crocodile."

roman would have WAY too much fun on the pirate splash battle:

you can also splash people who are eating because there's a cafeteria next to this attraction, and roman would definitely try to ruin as many people's french fries as possible.

tabitha joins roman and they make an excellent splashing team, they're SO good that at some point they're being told to leave the attraction because they keep ruining everyone's food. roman bribes them with a hundred dollar bill so they can continue.

kendall is having a mental breakdown in one of the bathrooms so connor takes his kids to all the miniature landmarks:

he tells them way too detailed history lessons about all of them, but kendall's kids keep running away because they don't care and just wanna see the lego ninjago attraction.

shiv and willa are on the laser game temple attraction gossiping about their cringe men. when they get out they sneek off to the lego hotel and cheat on them with each other.

meanwhile logan is trying to buy legoland.

Scout! Polka Dots — Summer-Colored Youths — Chapter 3

Writer: Umeda Chitose || Season: Summer Character appearances: Ibara, Nagisa

Tetora helps Hinata take care of the fields at school. As thanks, Hinata invites him to go to a summer festival together, and along the way, they meet lots of people...

Proofread by @mankaissengen

Chapters: 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6 - 7 - 8

(—Good grief. Why do I have to be at such a lively place...?)

Translation under the cut

[At the summer festival venue, at the same time]

Nagisa: ... Hey, Ibara, that says tornado potato. It's the first time I'm seeing something like this.

Nagisa: ... What makes it different from french fries? It looks like they're both made with potatoes, so I wonder if there's some fundamental difference between them.

Ibara: They just give it a new name and shape to make it seem unusual. The texture may be different, but the taste will still be the same, won't it?

Ibara: (—Good grief. Why do I have to be at such a lively place...?)

[At the CosPro office, around an hour earlier]

Ibara: (...? A message from Hinata-kun?)

Ibara: ("Looks like there's a summer festival happening today~♪" ... What is this? Would it be okay to respond with "Is that so?")

Ibara: (I've never had a subordinate communicate with me about personal matters before, so I'm confused as to how to respond~?)

Ibara: (... It already shows the 'read' marker. I'll just say I was busy with work and couldn't respond.)

Nagisa: ... Did someone message you?

Ibara: Huh?

Nagisa: ... You looked troubled for a second.

Ibara: So you noticed it even though you were reading a book. The contents are nothing important, though.

Ibara: I just got a message from Hinata-kun saying there's a summer festival happening today. He was even kind enough to attach a photo of the poster.

Nagisa: ... Hehe, so he sent you a message like that. He's such a friendly child.

Nagisa: ... Show me the poster, too.

Ibara: It's not a very interesting photo, but here.

Nagisa: ... "Looks like there's a summer festival happening today~♪" "Do you wanna come, too, Vice President? It'll be a nice break from work!"

Ibara: No- um. Why are you reading the messages out loud?

Nagisa: ... He's asking if you want to go.

Ibara: Can you at least answer my question? Besides, even if he asks if I want to go, I'm not going to a summer festival.

Nagisa: ... Is that so? I want to try going to one.

Ibara: To a summer festival, Your Excellency...?

Ibara: (I don't have any further plans today. I doubt anything will suddenly come up, either. Therefore, I have no reason to stop His Excellency...)

Ibara: I have some work to do here, so I can't accompany you, but if it doesn't clash with your schedule and you want to go, please go ahead.

Ibara: (... And so, I intended to only send His Excellency here, but...)

Ibara: (What choice did I have but to accompany him after he started saying things like "... If I find anything interesting, I'll buy it for you, too"!?)

Ibara: (After all, a summer festival would just be lined with things that pique His Excellency's interest and curiosity!)

Nagisa: ...♪

Ibara: You look like you're enjoying yourself, Your Excellency. Despite that, though, you're simply observing all the stalls lined up and not purchasing anything.

Nagisa: ... Yes. I've learned that summer festivals are fun enough even just to look at.

Nagisa: Though, honestly, there are so many foods here that I've never seen before that I don't know what to buy. I thought of trying each one in order, going from one end to the other.

Ibara: Please don't. Or rather, you can't buy everything with your pocket money.

Nagisa: ... I intended to leave the payment to you. It seemed like you wouldn't be pleased with that, though, so I stopped myself.

Nagisa: ... However, I do want to try eating one thing. Will you choose something, Ibara? I'll obey your instructions.

Ibara: You were the one who said you wanted to come to the summer festival, so you don't need to listen to my instructions now that you're here... however.

Ibara: Taking into account the menu planned for tonight, if I calculate the calories, yes—

Ibara: (Going from the right, the stalls in front of us are selling flour-based food, sweets, flour-based food, fried food, flour-based food... Right, what should we do?)

Ibara: (... Hm? That stall is—)

Nagisa: ... It says "Target Practice". Did that pique your interest?

Ibara: It simply happened to catch my eye. That said, please stop following my gaze.

Nagisa: ... Isn't "target practice", as the name implies, a game of staying on topic? The child over there is holding what looks like a gun.

Ibara: That's a cork gun to shoot at targets with. You use the gun to shoot a cork bullet and hit one of the prizes lined up at the back of the stall.

Ibara: If you can knock over or shoot down one of the prizes, you win it... Well, it's an attraction commonly seen at festivals and temple fairs.

Nagisa: ... That sounds like fun. I'd like to give it a try before we get our hands full buying food.

Ibara: Hmph, it seems you're interested. Understood.

Ibara: ... Excuse me. We'd both like to go once, please.

Nagisa: ... You're going to go as well?

Ibara: Huh? Ah...

Ibara: I got caught up in the flow of things and accidentally said "both". I wouldn't mind simply watching over you.

Ibara: I'll give you my turn, so would you like to play both times?

Nagisa: ... I don't mind just playing once, either. I look forward to seeing what kind of prize you will win.

Ibara: Even if you look forward to it, the more valuable prizes don't usually fall over. Whatever you do knock over will just be an added burden.

Ibara: (... Be that as it may, the first thing to do is to select a gun. Should I use one that looks relatively unused?)

Ibara: (I should also select cork bullets that appear new and in as good shape as possible... pull the lever, and pack them in.)

Ibara: (Finally, a disadvantage is that the way the cork flies is dependent on the atmosphere, and is not restricted to just the direction I aim.)

Ibara: (With such a lightweight toy gun, expecting accuracy is futile. Right now, it is my technique and ability that determine whether I win or lose.)

Ibara: .........

Nagisa: ... You're serious about this, Ibara. Do you actually enjoy target practice? You seem familiar with how to handle the gun, too. I wonder if you have experience with it.

Ibara: No, this is my first time doing this kind of target shooting. I actually have experience with real marksmanship training.

Ibara: That is simply experience from my past, however... Even if it's a fake, as long as I have a gun in my hands, I cannot miss a target.

Ibara: If anything, I could even knock down the valuable prizes I said are typically impossible to ♪

Nagisa: ... This really does seem fun. I've already missed two shots, though.

Ibara: Ahaha ☆ How unusual for you of all people, Your Excellency, the omniscient and omnipotent!

Ibara: However, this is you we're talking about, Your Excellency. I am certain you will win some kind of prize before you run out of cork bullets.

Nagisa: ... You seem very confident in that. So you seriously intend to knock over that large prize.

Ibara: As long as I knock it down in the end, it's my victory. If I don't get it with the first shot, I'll just correct my second and bring it down for good.

Ibara: When it comes to marksmanship... no. When it comes to target practice, I won't lose to you, either, Your Excellency.

Ibara: .........♪
